Estrogen is a sex hormone that is a key regulator of growth, differentiation and function of reproductive tissues, skeletal and cardiovascular systems. The effect of estrogen is mediated by two intracellular receptors, ERα and ERβ. Although the two receptors interact with similar ligands, have identical DNA-binding domains and have redundant roles in estrogen signaling, they show distinct expression pattern. On binding to the receptor, the estrogen-ER complex enters nucleus and regulates the transcription of specific genes. The biological effects of estrogen and ER is by upstream activation of the pathway by growth factors. Some pathways that activate the estrogen-ER pathway are those mediated by AP-1, IGF-1, EGF, MAPK and PI3K/Akt . Anti-Estrogen Receptor (18-32) antibody is specific for 18-32 amino acids of human estrogen receptor (67 kDa). The product is an IgG fraction prepared from pooled antisera.

Until recently, only a single type of estrogen receptor (ER) was thought to exist and mediate the genomic effects of the hormone 17beta-estradiol in mammalian tissues. However, the cloning of a gene encoding a second type of ER, termed ERbeta
The gonads and adrenal glands produce steroids classified into five major groups which include the oestrogens, progestins, androgens, glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids. Gonadal steroids control the differentiation and growth of the reproductive system, induce and maintain sexual characteristics and modulate reproductive
Previously, we reported on inter-individual and gender specific variations of LINE-1 methylation in healthy individuals. In this study, we investigated whether this variability could be influenced by age or sex hormones in humans. To this end, we studied LINE-1 methylation
